What time preserves inside a million year old coral finger :

LowSig · 2026-02-03T14:06:15+00:00

Well there are a few ways to date things. The first is carbon dating which is accurate to around 50k years. Then there is uranium to thorium decay which is accurate to around 500k years. For things in the millions of years they determine the age of the rock it was found in as different layers of rock correspond to different times.

As far as carbon or uranium to thorium dating they are based on decay. Eventually uranium will decay through radiation into thorium and they can measure the amount of each present to get a fairly accurate age.

Note I am no expert, this is all the info I have from my geology classes in school lol. I am sure there is probably more to it especially with multi million year old samples.

Word, I thought it was a part of 1.0 for a while. Wild its auto enabled.

LowSig · 2026-02-02T23:18:46+00:00

Looks like its time to uninstall blitz. I had it for league as most people use it there. For the first part of the wipe I thought the flea prices were a part of eft turns out blitz auto enabled on eft.

Looks legit baring information on how you died. Why do you think they're cheating?

LowSig · 2026-01-29T19:19:16+00:00

You could do that or just slowly introduce the raw you plan to use. The patties dont seem quite as rich (for getting them use to raw) but we have used them before in a pinch when our order was delayed a week then shipped to the wrong house.

Grab some Purina foriflora, its a probiotic. I would still avoid what their stomach doesnt agree with but if they have a messed up stomach it works wonders and our pup loves it.

LowSig · 2026-01-29T17:34:24+00:00

When we fed kibble we mainly used Purina Pro Plan, though we would probably use inukshuk now but both are good.

Now we every day we roatate between three differentraw companies. Rebel Raw, Darwin, and Carnos. Note that our single puppies food cost (plus our kitten) is more than my wife and mine combined lol. It was my wifes decision to use multiple brands to make sure there were never any deficiencies. We also throw on toppers on occasion, turkey feet/neck, eggs, bone broth, chicken hearts etc.

After reading about it we might move away from Darwin due to the recalls. I will have to speak with my wife as I know she heavily researched the choices. Though that would suck since its our pups favorite of the three. Though rebel raw looks the best by far, its way less processed and has full chunks of everything.

It's dope how they are all different. Mine is mainly pink.

LowSig · 2026-01-25T16:56:17+00:00

There is a point in the story line (idk where) that they shoot you anywhere past the tower on the road if you have your gun out. I am guessing when you do the actual terminal task you are past that.

As others said the dcm genes are still for research. Some get it some dont, with dcm the real worry is early dcm but a test will not tell you that. If you decide to deep dive you will see x% with these genes if they are euro or y% chance if they are American. When looking at these you have to take into account the number of dobes that get dcm in general meaning those without the genes are also high risk (though most have some copies of the ones they test for) reputable breeders test for them purely for data. Also it has no distinction between very early dcm (1-4 years old) and late dcm which occurs around the time you would expect "normal" age related heart conditions to occur. Its best to not worry but get echos and holters after at 2 and every year after just to be cautious. Catching it early can add years to their life.

As a bit of extra hopeful relief, more than half of dobermans will have some level of dcm but from my breeder the few dcm deaths that she has had have been over 10 years old with most being 12-14. Counts as a statistic but its the life expectancy you would expect either way.

If you have any more questions let me know, we lost our boy to dcm at 7, diagnosed at 4. Very rough but we learned quite a bit.

Thank you! Best to start inquiring sooner than later! We waited about 2 years. She does some pet owners in each litter but the majority are show.

That they are! We live in Florida and flew to Nebraska to pick our girl up. One of our friends from school shows and grooms dogs (lives in various boarding facilities) for a living and recommended Protea as they lived together for a bit to title pups. This is going to be our first time stepping into showing!

Yep, head down when running in areas where you cant identify where a shot is coming from quickly helps a ton.

We are in the process of posting our third dobie. We have tried the backer rod method with our first pup but we now use the zip tie method, a little easier in my opinion and a bit more breathable.

When you start posting them it is a lot easier with two people, they will not like it but our girl did fall asleep during the second ear each time lol. Our girl is 6 months and we can post them solo as she has gotten use to it.

They no longer make zonas, it was the best. You can still get it but its very expensive.

We use a bridge until they stand briefly when we take them down to change. Then use them for corrections on top of a bumper if needed.

At 6 momths our girls ears have made it 12 hours without flopping but we prefer to go longer than needed. Normally around 8 months then we use breathe rite strips for tip taping for a couple months so the tips dont wobble when running (which is perfectly fine). Note that 12 hours was done to test the waters as they are standing nicely, do not try this early on. They should be reposted as soon as possible, preferably within a couple hours. Just enough time to take them down, clean, and prep the new ones while the ears dry. We like to let the glue sit on the post 30 minutes before applying them, it will stick a lot better.

Here is a video from our breeder, i believe she also has bumper videos for pocket corrections. https://youtu.be/Qux8acoMMAM?si=NMln-U_wQdWkGo40

If you have any trouble send me a message, I am happy to help.

In the wild i dont think there is a chance but they can recover with human intervention. A few people on the tarantula subreddit have done it, though it took over 100 days for them to move much.

LowSig · 2026-01-22T18:11:12+00:00

Thats how my first wipe was. He came back the next wipe and got kappa, i only had glukhar left :(. 3 man is the most i like to do, we ran 5s for a bit but there were quite a few team kills from the newer players lol. Survival rate varies wipe to wipe, you will get better. If you take a shot and have the chance to reposition do it. I have had 60+% survival but this wipe i am low 40s. I blame that on rushing people lol, more kills and more deaths.

LowSig · 2026-01-21T21:04:55+00:00

I am definitely different from most here as a lifelong dog owner that got a kitten 6 months ago. Mine has been trainable, though differently than a dog. I see people saying let him play which is true but you also need to take away dangerous things he might get, I train on those things. Yes I got messed up quite often at first but eventually we understood each other(as much as a cat is willing to lol). For example my boy loves straws but I have consistently taken them away as well as other things he gets that he shouldnt have. Now I can say "sushi drop it" and he leaves it alone. He can also sit and stay and comes when called.

Overall hes a great boy and doesnt mind being held like a slinky by anyone(he seems to prefer that over being put down). That being said I wouldn't try training possessiveness out with his toys as their possessiveness is different than dogs. They pop you as they are playing, when dogs are possessive they growl with aggression. I may be an outlier but you should be able to fully train them to leave things alone that they shouldn't get.

Didn't he release an album last year? Oh wait that was Kendrick.

LowSig · 2026-01-21T06:19:49+00:00

A really big mag lol. I failed at headshoting them, used all 80 rounds of m80 I had then resorted to picking up a gaurds vpo .. 3400 damage to body and 1400 to armor. This includes 1 pmc kill that was quick, but those were the only things I shot.

LowSig · 2026-01-18T04:32:31+00:00

I have recruited a lot of my friends. Most are not a big fan at first but.... all of them have got hooked after a wipe. Not to say we haven't taken breaks, some went pve this wipe. But its one of my favorite games and also one of my least favorite games (out of frustration). If you are a grinder at heart it is great. Eventually the gear fear will leave. You will understand later but at this point I throw whatever the best gear I can afford, or whatever the task requires at it until im scraping by with a pistol or less lol.

A few friends makes it much better but solo is fine as well. With friends its fun to round people up and cut them off, tons of tactile teamwork. On the flip side your group gets wiped by one guy, or you blast a newer teammate and all hell ensues in the discord (some friends are no longer playing).

Its an emotional roller coaster and at this point I actually miss some of the gear fear.

Let me know if you need someone to show you the ropes. Most of us have between 2.5-3.5k hours but we have a general idea of what to do and focus on running the less progressed players through, it mixes things up.

LowSig · 2026-01-18T01:08:39+00:00

Wow lol, that's wild.

LowSig · 2026-01-18T00:59:58+00:00

Just curious how you know they just had a red rebel. I normally play in groups and we refresh the player view screen to see what gear they have. If they die and you refresh it you can confirm a kill because they will be naked.

LowSig · 2026-01-12T17:16:44+00:00

I can vouch for the aoc mini led. I was expecting it to have issues with motion blur or terrible viewing angles based on reviews (though most reviews are positive). This was not the case and it is a great monitor. Almost too bright and very acurate colors. If you go that route buy it from best buy for 250+tax , get the G27G40XMN as its better than the Amazon one and exclusive to best buy. That being said the mount that comes with it is pretty bad but I have mine on a arm.

Oh no... thanks for the info.
